PRIMORIS SERVICES CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Amounts)

(Unaudited)

Note 1—Nature of Business

Organization and operationsPrimoris Services Corporation is one of the leading providers of specialty contracting services operating mainly in the United States and Canada. We provide a wide range of specialty construction services, fabrication, maintenance, replacement, fabrication and engineering services to a diversified base of customers through our threetwo segments.

We have longstanding customer relationships with major utility, communications, refining, petrochemical, power, midstream, and engineering companies, and state departments of transportation. We provide our services to a diversified base of customers, under a range of contracting options. A substantial portion of our services are provided under Master Service Agreements (“MSA”), which are generally multi-year agreements. The remainder of our services are generated from contracts for specific construction or installation projects.

We are incorporated in the State of Delaware, and our corporate headquarters are located at 2300 N. Field Street, Suite 1900, Dallas, Texas 75201. Unless specifically noted otherwise, as used throughout these consolidated financial statements, “Primoris”, “the Company”, “we”, “our”, “us” or “its” refers to the business, operations and financial results of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Reportable Segments The currentThrough the end of 2022, we segregated our business into three reportable segments includesegments: the Utilities segment, the Energy/Renewables segment, and the Pipeline segment. In the first quarter of 2023, we changed our reportable segments in connection with the realignment of our internal organization and management structure. The segment changes reflect the focus of our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) on the range of services we provide to our end user markets. Our CODM regularly reviews our operating and financial performance based on these new segments.

The current reportable segments include the Utilities segment and the Energy segment, which is made up of our former Energy/Renewables and Pipeline Services (“Pipeline”) segment.segments. See Note 15 – “Reportable Segments” for a brief description of the reportable segments and their operations.

The classification of revenue and gross profit for segment reporting purposes can at times require judgment on the part of management. Our segments may perform services across industries or perform joint services for customers in multiple industries. To determine reportable segment gross profit, certain allocations, including allocations of shared and indirect costs, such as facility costs, equipment costs and indirect operating expenses, were made.

Note 2—Basis of Presentation

Interim condensed consolidated financial statements The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022 and 2021 have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).amended. As such, certain disclosures, which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 28, 2022,2023, which contains our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, have been omitted.

This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The interim financial information is unaudited.  In the opinion of management, the interim information includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial information. 

Reclassification — Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Restricted cash Restricted cash consists primarily of cash balances that are restricted as to withdrawal or usage and contract retention payments made by customers into escrow bank accounts and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Escrow cash accounts are released to us by customers as projects are completed in accordance with contract terms. As a result of the PLH acquisition (as defined below), we acquired cash pledged to secure letters of credit, which is recorded as restricted cash at September 30,December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023 substantially all of the restricted cash from the PLH acquisition had been released. The following tables provide a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the totals of such amounts shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (in thousands):

DepreciationEffective January 1, 2022, we changed our estimates of the useful lives of certain equipment to better reflect the estimated periods during which these assets will remain in service. The estimated useful lives of equipment that previously ranged three to seven years were increased to a range of three to ten years. The effect of this change in estimate reduced depreciation expense by $4.2 million, increased net income by $3.3 million, and increased basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.06 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The effect of this change in estimate reduced depreciation expense by $15.3 million, increased net income by $12.2 million, and increased basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.23 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Customer concentration — We operate in multiple industry segmentssectors encompassing the construction of commercial, industrial and public works infrastructure assets primarily throughout the United States. Typically, the top ten customers in any one calendar year generate revenue that is approximately 40% to 50% of total revenue; however, the companies that comprise the top ten vary from year to year.

For the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, approximately 53.3%42.3% and 48.4%45.4%, respectively, of total revenue was generated from our top ten customers. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, one renewable energy customer represented approximately 11.3% of total revenue and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, no one customer accounted for more than ten percent of our total revenue.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, approximately 45.6% and 43.3%, respectively,10% of total revenue was generated from our top ten customers and nofor the three months ended March 31, 2022, one solar energy customer accounted for more than ten percentrepresented approximately 10.1% of our total revenue.

Note 3—Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAPU.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 addresses fair value GAAP for financial assets and financial liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period and for non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are “unobservable data points” for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are “unobservable data points” for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

The following table presents, for each of the fair value hierarchy levels identified under ASC Topic 820, our financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 20212022 (in thousands):

Other financial instruments not listed in the table consist of accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities. These financial instruments generally approximate fair value based on their short-term nature. The carrying value of our long-term debt approximates fair value based on comparison with current prevailing market rates for loans of similar risks and maturities.

The interest rate swap isswaps are measured at fair value using the income approach, which discounts the future net cash settlements expected under the derivative contracts to a present value. These valuations primarily utilize indirectly observable inputs, including contractual terms, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals. See Note 9 – “Derivative Instruments” for additional information.

On a quarterly basis, we assess the estimated fair value of the contractual obligation to pay the contingent consideration and any changes in estimated fair value are recorded as non-operating income or expense in our Statement of Income. Operations. Fair value is determined utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimate of the probability of the acquired company meeting the contractual operating performance target discounted using our weighted average cost of capital. Significant changes in either management’s estimate of the probability of meeting the performance target or our estimated discount rate would result in a different fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption of the probability of meeting the performance target is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the fair value of contingent consideration liability, whereas a change in assumption of the estimated discount rate is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the fair value of contingent consideration liability.

Upon meeting the target, we reflect the full liability on the balance sheet and record an adjustment to “Other income (expense), net” for the change in the fair value of the liability from the prior period.

The March 1, 2022 acquisition of Alberta Screw Piles, Ltd. (“ASP”) (as discussed in Note 4 Acquisitions”) includes an earnout of up to $3.2 million, contingent upon meeting certain performance targets over the one and two year periods ending March 1, 2023 and March 1, 2024, respectively. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration on the acquisition date was $2.8 million. Under ASC 805, “Business Combinations”Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), we are required to estimate the fair value of contingent consideration based on facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and remeasure to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. Since March 1, 2022, there have been no changes to As a result of that remeasurement we reduced the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration other than foreign currency translation adjustmentsduring the first quarter of 2023 related to the ASP performance target contemplated in their purchase agreement and accretion ofdecreased the liability.liability by $0.3 million with a corresponding increase in non-operating income.

Note 4—Acquisitions

Acquisition of PLH

On August 1, 2022, we acquired PLH Group, Inc. (“PLH”) in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $438.3$429.0 million, net of cash acquired (the “PLH acquisition”). PLH is a utility-focused specialty construction company with concentrations in growing regions of the United States. The transaction directly aligns with our strategic focus on higher-growth, higher margin markets and expands our capabilities in the power delivery, communications, and gas utilities markets. The total purchase price was funded through a combination of borrowings under our term loan facility and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

The table below represents the purchase consideration and the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from PLH as of the acquisition date. Significant changes since our initial estimates reported in the third quarter of 2022 primarily relate to $22.6 million of project adjustments increasing the fair value of contract liabilities acquired, a $13.7 million reduction in the fair value of acquired intangibles, a $9.3 million decrease in the purchase consideration for a working capital true-up, and a $5.8 million reduction in the fair value of fixed assets acquired. As a result of these and other adjustments to the initial estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, goodwill increased by approximately $48.8 million since the third quarter of 2022. The final determination of fair value for certain assets and liabilities is subject to further change and will be completed as soon as the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained. These amounts, which may differ materially from these preliminary estimates, will continue to be refined during the one-year measurement period, as defined in ASC 805, which ends during the third quarter of 2023. The primary areas of the preliminary estimates that are not yet finalized relate to property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangible assets, contract assets and liabilities, deferred income taxes, uncertain tax positions, the fair value of certain contractual obligations, and accounts receivable. Consideration amounts are also subject to changes resulting from the finalization of post-closing working capital adjustments (inclusive of cash).

The intangible assets acquired with the PLH acquisition consisted of Customer relationships of $84.9$77.3 million and Tradenames of $17.7$11.6 million. The Customer relationships and Tradenames are being amortized over a weighted average useful life of 15 years and 1.81.9 years, respectively.

Such costs primarily consisted of professional fees paid to advisors.

Acquisition of Future Infrastructure Holdings, LLC.

On January 15, 2021, we acquired Future Infrastructure Holdings, LLC (“FIH”) for approximately $604.7 million, net of cash acquired. FIH is a provider of non-discretionary maintenance, repair, upgrade, and installation services to the communication, regulated gas utility, and infrastructure markets. FIH furthers our strategic plan to expand our service lines, enter new markets, and grow our MSA revenue base. The transaction directly aligns with our strategy to grow in large, higher growth, higher margin markets, and expands our utility services capabilities.

We incorporated the operations of FIH into our Utilities segment. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, FIH contributed revenue of $65.1 million and gross profit of $11.4 million. For the period from January 15, 2021, the acquisition date, to September 30, 2021, FIH contributed revenue of $198.5 million and gross profit of $32.0 million.

Acquisition related costs were $0.4 million and $14.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and are included in “Transaction and related costs” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Such costs primarily consisted of professional fees paid to advisors and expense associated with the purchase of Primoris common stock by certain employees of FIH at a 15% discount.

Supplemental Unaudited Pro Forma Information for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021

The following pro forma information for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 presents our results of operations as if the acquisition of PLH had occurred at the beginning of 2021 and FIH had occurred at the beginning of 2020.2022. The supplemental pro forma information has been adjusted to include:

the pro forma impact of amortization of intangible assets and depreciation of property, plant and equipment;

the pro forma impact of nonrecurring transaction and related costs directly attributable to the acquisition; and

the pro forma tax effect of both income before income taxes, and the pro forma adjustments, calculated using a tax rate of 18.6% and 19.6%27.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively and 29.0% and 27.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.March 31, 2022.

The pro forma results are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of, or intended to represent, the results that would have been achieved had the PLH and FIH acquisitionsacquisition been completed on January 1, 2021.2022. For example, the pro forma results do not reflect any operating efficiencies and associated cost savings that we might have achieved with respect to the acquisition (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Acquisition of B Comm Holdco, LLC

On June 8, 2022 we acquired B Comm, Holdco, LLC (“B Comm”) forin an all-cash transaction of approximately $36.0 million, net of cash acquired. B Comm is a provider of maintenance, repair, upgrade and installation services to the communications markets. The transaction directly aligns with the strategy to grow our MSA revenue base and expand our communication services within the utility markets. The preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date consisted of $4.8 million of fixed assets, $13.2 million of working capital, $10.2 million of intangible assets and $10.1 million of goodwill. The final determination of fair value for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is subject to further change and will be completed as soon as possible, but no later than one

The preliminary estimates that are not yet finalized relate to fixed assets, identifiable intangible assets, and accounts receivable and accrued liabilities.receivable. We incorporated the operations of B Comm into our Utilities segment. Goodwill associated with the B Comm acquisition principally consists of the value of the assembled workforce. Based on the current tax treatment, goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes over a 15-year period.

Acquisition of Alberta Screw Piles, Ltd.

Note 5—Revenue

We generate revenue under a range of contracting types, including fixed-price, unit-price, time and material, and cost reimbursable plus fee contracts, each of which has a different risk profile. A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from contracts where scope is adequately defined, and therefore we can reasonably estimate total contract value. For these contracts, revenue is recognized over time as work is completed because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer (typically using an input measure such as costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion to measure progress). For certain contracts, where scope is not adequately defined and we can’t reasonably estimate total contract value, revenue is recognized either on an input basis, based on contract costs incurred as defined within the respective contracts, or an output basis, based on units completed. Costs to obtain contracts are generally not significant and are expensed in the period incurred.

Table of Contents

We evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single performance obligation and whether a single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. ASC 606 defines a performance obligation as a contractual promise to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Our evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate a contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period. The majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, is not distinct. However, occasionally we have contracts with multiple performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the observable standalone selling price, if available, or alternatively our best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct performance obligation in the contract. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin approach for each performance obligation.

As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had $3.7$3.8 billion of remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize approximately 64.4%61.9% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue during the next four quarters and substantially all of the remaining balance by December 31, 2024.

Accounting for long-term contracts involves the use of various techniques to estimate total transaction price and costs. For long-term contracts, transaction price, estimated cost at completion and total costs incurred to date are used to calculate revenue earned. Unforeseen events and circumstances can alter the estimate of the costs and potential profit associated with a particular contract. Total estimated costs, and thus contract revenue and income, can be impacted by changes in productivity, scheduling, the unit cost of labor, subcontracts, materials and equipment. Additionally, external factors such as weather, client needs, client delays in providing permits and approvals, labor availability, governmental regulation, politics and any prevailing impacts from the pandemic caused by the coronavirus may affect the progress of a project’s completion, and thus the timing of revenue recognition. To the extent that original cost estimates are modified,

14

Table of Contents

estimated costs to complete increase, delivery schedules are delayed, or progress under a contract is otherwise impeded, cash flow, revenue recognition and profitability from a particular contract may be adversely affected.

The nature of our contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration, including contract modifications (change orders and claims), liquidated damages, volume discounts, performance bonuses, incentive fees, and other terms that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. We estimate variable consideration as the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent we believe we have an enforceable right, and it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. Our estimates of variable consideration and the determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us at this time.

Contract modifications result from changes in contract specifications or requirements. We consider unapproved change orders to be contract modifications for which customers have not agreed to both scope and price. We consider claims to be contract modifications for which we seek, or will seek, to collect from customers, or others, for customer-caused changes in contract specifications or design, or other customer-related causes of unanticipated additional contract costs on which there is no agreement with customers. Claims can also be caused by non-customer-caused changes, such as rain or other weather delays. Costs associated with contract modifications are included in the estimated costs to complete the contracts and are treated as project costs when incurred. In most instances, contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct, and, therefore, are accounted for as part of the existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price, and our measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. In some cases, settlement of contract modifications may not occur until after completion of work under the contract.

As a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of our contracts, we review and update our contract-related estimates regularly. We recognize adjustments in estimated profit on contracts under the cumulative catch-up method. Under this method, the cumulative impact of the profit adjustment is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance are recognized using the adjusted estimate. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, revenue recognized related to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods was $10.0 million and $6.5$0.7 million. If at any time the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on a contract, the projected loss is recognized in full, including the reversal of any previously

recognized profit, in the period it is identified and recognized as an “accrued loss provision” which is included in “Contract liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For contract revenue recognized over time, the accrued loss provision is adjusted so that the gross profit for the contract remains zero in future periods.

At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had approximately $105.4$130.6 million of unapproved contract modifications included in the aggregate transaction prices. These contract modifications were in the process of being negotiated in the normal course of business. Approximately $93.8$119.5 million of the contract modifications had been recognized as revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis through September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

In all forms of contracts, we estimate the collectability of contract amounts at the same time that we estimate project costs. If we anticipate that there may be issues associated with the collectability of the full amount calculated as the transaction price, we may reduce the amount recognized as revenue to reflect the uncertainty associated with realization of the eventual cash collection. For example, when a cost reimbursable project exceeds the client’s expected budget amount, the client frequently requests an adjustment to the final amount. Similarly, some utility clients reserve the right to audit costs for significant periods after performance of the work.

The timing of when we bill our customers is generally dependent upon agreed-upon contractual terms, milestone billings based on the completion of certain phases of the work, or when services are provided. Sometimes, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in unbilled revenue, which is a contract asset. Also, we sometimes receive advances or deposits from our customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in deferred revenue, which is a contract liability.

Each of these contract types has a different risk profile. Typically, we assume more risk with fixed-price contracts. Unforeseen events and circumstances can alter the estimate of the costs and potential profit associated with a particular fixed-price contract. However, these types of contracts offer additional profits when we complete the work for less cost than originally estimated. Unit-price and cost reimbursable contracts generally subject us to lower risk. Accordingly, the associated fees are usually lower than fees earned on fixed-price contracts. Under these contracts, our profit may vary if actual costs vary significantly from the negotiated rates.

On August 1, 2022, we entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On September 29, 2017, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement, as amended July 9, 2018 and August 3, 2018 (the “Credit“Amended Credit Agreement”) with CIBC Bank USA, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and co-lead arranger, and the financial parties thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement consisted of a $220.0 million, which increased our term loan to an aggregate principal amount of $945.0 million (the “Term“New Term Loan”) and a $200.0 millionincreased our revolving credit facility to $325.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), wherebyunder which the Lenderslenders agreed to make loans on a revolving basis from time to time and to issue letters of credit for up to the $200.0$325.0 million committed amount. The Credit Agreement contained an accordion feature that would allow us to increase the Term Loan or the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility by up to $75.0 million. The Credit Agreement was scheduled to mature on July 9, 2023.

On January 15, 2021, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that increased the Term Loan to an aggregate principal amount of $592.5 million and extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to January 15, 2026.

On August 1, 2022, we entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with Administrative Agent and the Lenders that increased the Term Loan by $439.5 million to an aggregate principal amount of $945.0 million (as amended, the “New Term Loan”). The Amended Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on August 1, 2027.

At March 31, 2023, commercial letters of credit outstanding were $47.3 million. In addition to the New Term Loan, the Amended Credit Agreement increased the existing $200.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, whereby the Lenders agreed to make loans on a revolving basis from time to time and to issuecommercial letters of credit, to $325.0 million. At September 30, 2022, there was $150.0were $100.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, commercial letters of credit outstanding were $48.4 million, and available borrowing capacity was $126.6 million.

Under the Amended Credit Agreement, we must make quarterly principal payments on the New Term Loan in an amount equal to approximately $11.8$177.7 million with the balance due on August 1, 2027. The proceeds from the New Term Loan and additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility were used to finance the acquisition of PLH.

We capitalized $6.5 million of debt issuance costs during the third quarter of 2022 associated with the Amended Credit Agreement that is being amortized as interest expense over the life of the Amended Credit Agreement. In addition, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt during the third quarter of 2022 of $0.8 million related to the Amended Credit Agreement.

The principal amount of all loans under the Amended Credit Agreement will bear interest at either: (i) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin as specified in the Amended Credit Agreement (based on

21

Table of Contents

our net senior debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratio as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), or (ii) the Base Rate (which is the greater of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or (b) the prime rate as announced by the Administrative Agent) plus an applicable margin as specified in the Amended Credit Agreement. Quarterly non-use fees, letter of credit fees and administrative agent fees are payable at rates specified in the Amended Credit Agreement.

The principal amount of any loan drawn under the Amended Credit Agreement may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, with a minimum prepayment of $5.0 million.

Loans made under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by our assets, including, among others, our cash, inventory, equipment (excluding equipment subject to permitted liens), and accounts receivable. Certain subsidiaries have issued joint and several guaranties in favor of the Lenders for all amounts under the Amended Credit Agreement.March 31, 2023.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains various restrictive and financial covenants including, among others, a net senior debt/EBITDA ratio and minimum EBITDA to cash interest ratio. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement includes restrictions on investments, change of control provisions and provisions in the event we dispose of more than 20% of our total assets.

We were in compliance with the covenants for the Amended Credit Agreement at September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

On September 13, 2018, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage our exposure to the fluctuations in variable interest rates. The swap effectively exchanged the interest rate on 75%$165.0 million of the debt outstanding under our original Term Loan from variable LIBOR to a fixed rate of 2.89% per annum, in each case plus an applicable margin, which was 2.25% at September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. The interest rate swap matures on July 10, 2023. See Note 9 – “Derivative Instruments”.

On January 31, 2023, we entered into a second interest rate swap agreement to manage our exposure to the fluctuations in variable interest rates. The swap effectively exchanged the interest rate on $300.0 million of the debt outstanding under our Term Loan from variable to a fixed rate of 4.095% per annum, plus an applicable margin. The interest rate swap matures on January 31, 2025. See Note 9 – “Derivative Instruments”.

Canadian Credit Facilities

We have a demand credit facility for $4.0facilities totaling $14.0 million in Canadian dollars with a Canadian bank for the purposes of issuing commercial letters of credit in Canada.and providing funding for working capital. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, commercial letters of credit outstanding were $0.8$0.7 million in Canadian dollars and the available borrowingthere were no outstanding borrowings. Available capacity at March 31, 2023 was $3.2$13.3 million in Canadian dollars. The credit facility contains a working capital restrictive covenant for OnQuest Canada, ULC, our wholly owned subsidiary. At September 30, 2022, OnQuest Canada, ULC was in compliance with the covenant.

We have a credit facility for $10.0 million in Canadian dollars with CIBC Bank for working capital purposes in the normal course of business (“Working Capital Credit Facility”). At September 30, 2022, there were $0.2 million of borrowings under the Working Capital Credit Facility, and available borrowing capacity was $9.8 million in Canadian dollars. The Working Capital Credit Facility contains a cross default restrictive covenant where a default under our Amended Credit Agreement will represent a default in the Working Capital Credit Facility.

Note 9 — Derivative Instruments

We are exposed to certain market risks related to changes in interest rates. To monitor and manage these market risks, we have established risk management policies and procedures. We do not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than hedging interest rate risk. None of our derivative instruments are used for trading purposes.

Interest Rate Risk. We are exposed to variable interest rate risk as a result of variable-rate borrowings under our Amended Credit Agreement. To manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates on a portion of our variable-rate debt, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on September 13, 2018, with an initial notional amount of $165.0 million, which was not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes.million. The notional amount of the swap is adjusted down each quarter by a portion of the required principal payments made on the New Term Loan. On January 31, 2023, we entered into a second interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $300.0 million. Neither swap was designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. The swapswaps effectively changeschange the variable-rate cash flow exposure on the debt obligations to fixed rates. The fair value of outstanding interest rate swap derivatives can vary significantly from period to period depending on the total notional amount of swap derivatives outstanding and fluctuations in market interest rates compared to the interest rates fixed by the swap. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2021,2022, our outstanding interest rate swap agreementagreements contained a notional amount of $124.8$418.6 million and $134.1$121.7 million, respectively, with a maturity date of$118.6 million maturing on July 10, 2023.2023, and $300.0 million maturing on January 31, 2025.

Credit Risk. By using derivative instruments to economically hedge exposures to changes in interest rates, we are exposed to counterparty credit risk. Credit risk is the failure of a counterparty to perform under the terms of a derivative

22

Table of Contents

contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we owe the counterparty and, therefore, we do not possess credit risk. We minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high quality counterparties. We have entered into netting agreements, including International Swap Dealers Association (“ISDA”) Agreements, which allow for netting of contract receivables and payables in the event of default by either party.

Note 10—Income Taxes

We are subject to tax liabilities imposed by multiple jurisdictions. We determine our best estimate of the annual effective tax rate at each interim period using expected annual pre-tax earnings, statutory tax rates and available tax planning opportunities. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur

19

Table of Contents

which can cause variability in the effective tax rate from quarter to quarter. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as an income tax expense.

The effective tax rate on income for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023, and 2022 is 28.0% and 2021 is 19.6% and 27.5%27.0%, respectively. For the first ninethree months of 2022, our tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the impact of state income taxes and the release of valuation allowances during the second and third quarters. For the first nine months of 2021,2023, our tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the impact of state income taxes and nondeductible components of per diem expenses.

As For the first three months of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect2022, our viewtax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the future realizationimpact of all deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2021, we had not recognized the $9.8 million tax benefit of our 2018 U.S. capital losses, because we determined that it was more likely than not that the capital losses would expire before they were able to be used to offset future U.S. capital gains. Due to capital gains on the sale of California properties as of September 2022, we have released a portion of the valuation allowance and recognized a 5.5% decrease in our forecasted 2022 annual effective tax rate.state income taxes.

Our U.S. federal income tax returns are generally no longer subject to examination for tax years before 2018.2019. The statutes of limitation of state and foreign jurisdictions generally vary between 3 to 5 years. Accordingly, our state and foreign income tax returns are generally no longer subject to examination for tax years before 2016.2017.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and tax bases of assets and liabilities based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. However, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realized based upon consideration of available evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future projected taxable income, the length of the tax asset carryforward periods and tax planning strategies. The effects of remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from changes in tax rates are recognized in income in the period of enactment.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted by the US Government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We deferred FICA tax payments through the end of 2020 as

23

Table of Contents

allowed under the CARES Act. The remaining deferral balance was $21.7 million at September 30, 2022, and is included in Accrued liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferral amount is due to the U.S. Treasury on January 3, 2023.

Note 12—Stockholders’ Equity

Common stock

We issued 23,78221,245 and 25,98723,782 shares of common stock in the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively, under our long-term retention plan (“LTR Plan”). The shares were purchased by the participants in the LTR Plan with payment made to us of $0.6$0.3 million and $0.5$0.6 million in the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively. Our LTR Plan for certain managers and executives allows participants to use a portion of their annual bonus amount to purchase our common stock at a discount from the market price. The shares purchased in the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 were a portion of bonus amounts earned in 2021,2022, and the number of shares purchased was calculated based on 75% of the average daily closing market price of our common stock during December 2021.2022. The shares purchased in the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 were for bonus amounts earned in 2020,2021, and the number of shares was calculated at 75% of the average daily closing market price during December 2020.2021.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we issued 28,288 and 24,0329,648 shares of common stock, respectively, as part of the quarterly compensation of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors.

During the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, a total of 11,215118,052 and 131,70980,121 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), net of forfeitures for tax withholdings, respectively, were converted to common stock. There were 62,277 and 102,041 RSUs converted to common stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

In connection with the acquisition of FIH, we offered certain FIH employees the option to purchase shares of our common stock at a 15% discount of the closing market price of our common stock on the date of the acquisition. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, such employees purchased 1,038,309 shares of common stock, net of forfeitures for tax withholdings, with payment made to us of $28.9 million, resulting in the recognition of $5.1 million in stock compensation expense included in Transaction and related costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In May 2022, our shareholders approved the 2022 Primoris Services Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) for which, eligible full-time employees can purchase shares of our common stock at a discount. The purchase price of the stock is 90% of the lower of the market price at the beginning of the offering period or the end of the offering period. Purchases occur semi-annually, approximately 30 days following the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31 of each year, but in no cases can extend beyond March 31 of the period or year, and approximately 30 days following the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30 of each year. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, 9,943March 31, 2023, 6,320 shares were purchased at a discounted purchase price of $17.44$21.83 per share.

Secondary Offering

In March 2021, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and UBS Securities LLC, as representatives of the underwriters, in connection with a public offering, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell 4,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The shares were offered and sold at a public offering price of $35.00 per share. Our gross proceeds of the offering, before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, were approximately $157.5 million. Our net proceeds were approximately $149.3 million and were used to repay a portion of the borrowings incurred under our Credit Agreement in connection with the acquisition of FIH.

Share Purchase Plan

In November 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a $25.0 million share purchase program. Under the share purchase program, we can, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors, acquire shares of our common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In February 2022, our Board of Directors replenished the limit to $25.0 million. During the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, we purchased and cancelled 129,200did not purchase any shares of common stock, which in the aggregate equaled $2.6 million at an average share price of $20.28. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we purchased and cancelled 277,200 shares of common stock, which in the aggregate equaled $6.0 million at an average share price of $21.61.stock. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had $19.0 million remaining for purchase under the share purchase program. The share purchase plan expires on December 31, 2022.2023.

Note 13—Leases

We lease administrative and operational facilities, which are generally longer-term, project specific facilities or yards, and construction equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. Operating leases are included in operating lease assets, accrued liabilities, and noncurrent operating lease liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. In determining our lease term, we include options to

25

Table of Contents

extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date to determine the present value of future payments. Lease expense from minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

21

Table of Contents

Our leases have remaining lease terms that expire at various dates through 2031, some of which may include options to extend the leases for up to 5 years. The exercise of lease extensions is at our sole discretion. Periodically, we sublease excess facility space, but any sublease income is generally not significant. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

On June 22, 2022, we completed a sale and leaseback transaction of land and buildings located in Carson, California for an aggregate sales price, net of closing costs, of $49.9 million. Under the transaction, the land, buildings and improvements were sold and leased back for an initial term of three years. The aggregate initial annual rent payment for the property is approximately $1.2 million and includes annual rent increases of 3.0% over the initial lease term. The property qualified for sale and leaseback treatment and is classified as an operating lease. Therefore, we recorded a gain on the transaction of $40.1 million. The gain is included in Gain on sale and leaseback transaction on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies

Legal proceedingsWe are subject to claims and legal proceedings arising out of our business. We provide for costs related to contingencies when a loss from such claims is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. In determining whether it is possible to provide an estimate of loss, or range of possible loss, we review and evaluate our litigation and regulatory matters on a quarterly basis in light of potentially relevant factual and legal developments. If we determine an unfavorable outcome is not probable, or probable but not reasonably estimable, we do not accrue for a potential litigation loss.

Management is unable to ascertain the ultimate outcome of claims and legal proceedings; however, after review and consultation with counsel and taking into consideration relevant insurance coverage and related deductibles/self-insurance retention, management believes that it has meritorious defenses to such claims and believes that the reasonably possible outcome of such claims will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.

Bonding — At September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, we had bid and completion bonds issued and outstanding totaling approximately $4.2$4.8 billion and $3.2$4.3 billion, respectively. The remaining performance obligation on those bonded projects totaled approximately $1.8 billion and $1.7 billion and $1.2 billion at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively.

Note 15—Reportable Segments

Through the end of 2022, we segregated our business into three reportable segments: the Utilities segment, the Energy/Renewables segment, and the Pipeline segment. In the first quarter of 2023, we changed our reportable segments in connection with the realignment of our internal organization and management structure. The segment changes reflect the focus of our CODM on the range of services we provide to our end user markets. Our CODM regularly reviews our operating and financial performance based on these new segments.

The current reportable segments include the Utilities segment and the Energy segment, which is made up of our former Energy/Renewables segment, and the Pipeline segment.Services segments.

Each of our reportable segments is composed of similar business units that specialize in services unique to the segment. Driving the end-user focused segments are differences in the economic characteristics of each segment, the nature of the services provided by each segment; the production processes of each segment;segment, the type or class of customer using the segment’s services;services, the methods used by the segment to provide the services;services, and the regulatory environment of each segment’s customers.

Table of Contents

The classification of revenue and gross profit for segment reporting purposes can at times require judgment on the part of management. Our segments may perform services across industries or perform joint services for customers in multiple industries. To determine reportable segment gross profit, certain allocations, including allocations of shared and indirect costs, such as facility costs, equipment costs and indirect operating expenses, were made.

The following is a brief description of the reportable segments:

The Utilities segment operates throughout the United States and specializes in a range of services, including the installation and maintenance of new and existing natural gas and electric utility distribution and transmission systems, and communications systems.

The Energy/RenewablesEnergy segment operates throughout the United States and in Canada and specializes in a range of services that include engineering, procurement, and construction, retrofits, highway and bridge construction, demolition, site work, soil stabilization, mass excavation, flood control, upgrades, repairs, outages, pipeline construction and maintenance, pipeline integrity services, and maintenance services for entities in the renewable energy and energy storage, renewable fuels, and petroleum and petrochemical industries, as well as state departments of transportation.

The Pipeline segment operates throughout the United States and specializes in a range of services, including pipeline construction and maintenance, pipeline integrity services, installation of compressor and pump stations, and metering facilities for entities in the petroleum and petrochemical industries, as well as gas, water, and sewer utilities.

All intersegment revenue and gross profit, which was immaterial, has been eliminated in the following tables. Total assets by segment is not presented as our Chief Operating Decision Maker as defined by ASC 280 does not review or allocate resources based on segment assets.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Part 1, Item 1 of this ThirdFirst Quarter 20222023 Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

Introduction

We are one of the leading providers of specialty contracting services operating mainly in the United States and Canada. We provide a wide range of specialty construction services, fabrication, maintenance, replacement, fabrication and engineering services to a diversified base of customers.

The currentThrough the end of 2022, we segregated our business into three reportable segments includesegments: the Utilities segment, the Energy/Renewables segment, and the Pipeline segment. In the first quarter of 2023, we changed our reportable segments in connection with the realignment of our internal organization and management structure. The segment changes reflect the focus of our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) on the range of services we provide to our end user markets. Our CODM regularly reviews our operating and financial performance based on these new segments.

The current reportable segments include the Utilities segment and the Energy segment, which is made up of our former Energy/Renewables and Pipeline Services (“Pipeline”) segment.segments. The Utilities segment operates throughout the United States and specializes in a range of services, including the installation and maintenance of new and existing natural gas and electric utility distribution and transmission systems, and communication systems.

The Energy/RenewablesEnergy segment operates throughout the United States and in Canada and specializes in a range of services that include engineering, procurement, and construction, retrofits, highway and bridge construction, demolition, site work, soil stabilization, mass excavation, flood control, upgrades, repairs, outages, pipeline construction and maintenance, pipeline integrity services, and maintenance services for entities in the renewable energy including utility and distributed generation scale solar facilities, and energy storage, renewable fuels, and petroleum and petrochemical industries, as well as state departments of transportation.

The Pipeline segment operates throughout the United States and specializes in a range of services, including pipeline construction and maintenance, pipeline integrity services, installation of compressor and pump stations, and metering facilities for entities in the petroleum and petrochemical industries, as well as gas, water, and sewer utilities.

We have longstanding customer relationships with major utility, refining, petrochemical, power, midstream, and engineering companies, and state departments of transportation. We have completed major underground and industrial projects for a number of large natural gas transmission and petrochemical companies in the United States, major electrical and gas projects for a number of large utility companies in the United States, significant renewable energy projects for energy companies, as well as significant projects for our engineering customers. We enter into a large number of contracts each year, and the projects can vary in length from daily work orders to as long as 36 months, and occasionally longer, for completion on larger projects. Although we have not been dependent upon any one customer in any year, a small number of customers tend to constitute a substantial portion of our total revenue in any given year.

We generate revenue under a range of contracting types, including fixed-price, unit-price, time and material, and cost reimbursable plus fee contracts.contracts, each of which has a different risk profile. A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from contracts where scope is adequately defined, and therefore we can reasonably estimate total contract value. For these contracts, revenue is recognized over time as work is completed because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer (typically using an input measure such as costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion to measure progress). For certain contracts, where scope is not adequately defined and we can’t reasonably estimate total contract value, revenue is recognized either on an input basis, based on contract costs incurred as defined within the respective contracts, or an output basis based on units completed. Costs to obtain contracts are generally not significant and are expensed in the period incurred.

The classification of revenue and gross profit for segment reporting purposes can at times require judgment on the part of management. Our segments may perform services across industries or perform joint services for customers in multiple industries. To determine reportable segment gross profit, certain allocations, including allocations of shared and indirect costs, such as facility costs, equipment costs and indirect operating expenses were made.

In addition, the sellers could receive a contingent earnout payment of up to $3.2 million based on achievement of certain operating targets over the one and two year periods ending March 1, 2023 and March 1, 2024, respectively. We incorporated the operations of ASP into our Energy/RenewablesEnergy segment.

Acquisition of Future Infrastructure Holdings, LLC.

On January 15, 2021, we acquired Future Infrastructure Holdings, LLC (“FIH”) for approximately $604.7 million, net of cash acquired. FIH was incorporated into our Utilities segment and is a provider of non-discretionary maintenance, repair, upgrade, and installation services to the communication, regulated gas utility, and infrastructure markets. FIH furthers our strategic plan to expand our service lines, enter new markets, and grow our MSA revenue base. The transaction directly aligns with our strategy to grow in large, higher growth, higher margin markets, and expands our utility services capabilities. The total purchase price was funded through a combination of existing cash balances, borrowings under our Term Loan facility, and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Material trends and uncertainties

We generate our revenue from construction and engineering projects, as well as from providing a variety of specialty construction services. We depend in part on spending by companies in the communications, gas and electric utility industries, theutilities, energy, chemical, and oil and gas industries, as well as state departments of transportation and municipal water and wastewater customers. Over the past several years, each segment has benefited from demand for more efficient and more environmentally friendly energy and power facilities, more reliable gas and electric utility infrastructure, local highway and bridge needs, and from the activity level in the oil and gas industry. However, periodically, each of these industries and government agencies is adversely affected by macroeconomic conditions. Economic and other factors outside of our control may affect the amount and size of contracts we are awarded in any particular period.

We have been actively monitoringmonitor the impact of the dynamic macroeconomic environment, including the impactsimpact of the COVID-19 pandemicinflation and the impact of inflation,instability in the banking sector, on all aspects of our business, and webusiness. We have experienced increased fuel and labor costs from the inflationary environment. Weand anticipate that the significantly elevated levels of cost inflation could persist throughout the remainder of 2022 and into 2023. In an effort to mitigate the impacts of inflation on our operations, we attempt to recover anticipated increases in the cost of labor, equipment, fuel and materials through price escalation provisions that allow us to adjust billing rates for certain major contracts annually; by considering the estimated effect of such increases when bidding or pricing new work; or by entering into back-to-back contracts with suppliers and subcontractors. However, the annual adjustment provided by certain contracts is typically subject to a cap and there can be an extended period of time between the impact of inflation on our costs and when billing rates are adjusted. In some cases, our actual cost increases have exceeded the contractual caps, and therefore negatively impacted our operations. We have been able to renegotiatesuccessful in renegotiating some of our major contracts to address the increased costs on future work and will continue to address this with our customers going forward.

There still remains uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic. Since March 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak has adversely impacted global activity and contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. While our services have generally been unaffected by various government measures enacted to slow the spread of COVID-19, the initial impacts to all segments were various levels of project interruptions and restrictions that delayed project timelines from those originally planned. In some cases, we experienced temporary work stoppages. This led to general inefficiencies from having to start and stop work, re-sequencing work, requiring on-site health screenings before entering a job site, and following proper social distancing practices. We were also restricted from completing work or prevented from starting work on certain projects. While we continue to be impacted by some of these factors in 2022, the primary impacts to our business through

31

Table of Contents

the third quarter of 2022 are inefficiencies in our workforce from absenteeism because of illness or quarantining. However, despite these impacts, our business model has been resilient, and we have adapted accordingly.

During 2021 COVID-19 vaccination coverage broadened considerably across the United States since the vaccines were first approved and became available in late 2020, but progress in vaccination rates has slowed. The duration of effectiveness of the vaccines, as well as their effectiveness against current and future variants is uncertain. As such, due to the fluidity of the COVID-19 pandemic, uncertainties as to its scope and duration and macroeconomic implications, and ongoing changes in the way that governments, businesses and individuals react and respond to the pandemic, the ultimate impact on the Company remains uncertain. We anticipate that the COVID-19 pandemic could have a continued adverse impact on economic and market conditions and we could see an extended period of global economic slowdown due to COVID-19 and other macroeconomic factors.

To date, the inefficiencies experienced have had an unquantifiable impact on our business. We will continue to actively monitor the evolving situation and may take further actions to alter our business operations that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers, and stakeholders, or as required by federal, state, or local authorities. It is not clear what the potential effects any such alterations or modifications may have on our business or on our financial results for the foreseeable future.

We also monitor our customers and their industries to assess the effect that changes in economic, market, and regulatory conditions may have on them. We have experienced reduced spending, project delays, and project cancellations by some of our customers over the last year, which we attribute to negative economic and market conditions, and we anticipate that these negative conditions and the impact of COVID-19 may continue to affect demand for our services in the near-term.

Fluctuations in the market prices of oil, gas and other fuel sources have affected demand for our services. While we have seen a recovery in the price of oil and natural gas, the volatility in the prices of oil, gas, and liquid natural gas that has occurred in the past few years could create uncertainty with respect to demand for our oil and gas pipeline services, specifically in our pipeline services operations, both in the near term and for future projects. While the construction of gathering lines within the oil shale formations may remain at lower levels for an extended period, we believe that over time, the need for pipeline infrastructure for mid-stream and gas utility companies will result in a continuing need for our services.

26

Table of Contents

The continuing changes in the regulatory environment have affected the demand for our services, either by increasing our work, delaying projects, or cancelling projects. For example, environmental laws and regulations have provided challenges to pipeline projects, resulting in delays or cancellations that impact the timing of revenue recognition. However, environmental laws and new pipeline regulations could increase the demand for our pipeline maintenance and integrity services. In addition, the regulatory environment in Californiacertain states has resulted in delays for the construction of gas-fired power plants, while regulators continue to search for significant renewable resources.plants. However, the increased demand for renewable resources is also creating demand for our construction and specialty services, such as the need for battery storage and the construction of utility scale and distributed generation solar facilities.

We are exposed to certain market risks related to changes in interest rates. To monitor and manage these market risks, we have established risk management policies and procedures. Our Revolving Credit Facility and New Term Loan bear interest at a variable rate which exposes us to interest rate risk. From time to time, we may use certain derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to variable interest rates. As of September 30, 2022, $124.8March 31, 2023, $418.6 million of our variable rate debt outstanding was economically hedged. Based on our variable rate debt outstanding as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, a 1.0% increase or decrease in interest rates would change annual interest expense by approximately $9.6$5.9 million.

Seasonality, cyclicality and variability

Our results of operations are subject to quarterly variations. Some of the variation is the result of weather, particularly rain, ice, snow, and named storms, which can impact our ability to perform construction and specialty services. These seasonal impacts can affect revenue and profitability in all of our businesses since utilities defer routine replacement and repair during their period of peak demand.businesses. Any quarter can be affected either negatively, or positively by atypical weather patterns in any part of the country. In addition, demand for new projects in our Utilities segment tends to be lower during the early part of the calendar year due to clients’ internal budget cycles. As a result, we usually experience higher revenue and earnings in the second, third and fourth quarters of the year as compared to the first quarter.

32

Table of Contents

Our project values range in size from several hundred dollars to several hundred million dollars. The bulk of our work is composedcomprised of project sizes that average less than $3.0 million. We also perform construction projects which tend not to be seasonal, but can fluctuate from year to year based on customer timing, project duration, weather, and general economic conditions. Our business may be affected by declines, or delays in new projects, or by client project schedules. Because of the cyclical nature of our business, the financial results for any period may fluctuate from prior periods, and our financial condition and operating results may vary from quarter to quarter. Results from one quarter may not be indicative of our financial condition, or operating results for any other quarter, or for an entire year.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and that affect the amounts of revenue and expenses reported for each period. These estimates and assumptions must be made because certain information that is used in the preparation of our financial statements cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available, is dependent on future events, or is not capable of being readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. Often, these estimates are particularly difficult to determine, and we must exercise significant judgment. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates, and our estimates could change if they were made under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2021.2022.

Partially offsetting the overall decline was the favorable impact of the change in useful lives of certain equipment, which reduced our depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 by $4.2 million and $15.3 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. See Note 2— “Basis of Presentation”, included in the unaudited notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included under Part I of this Form 10-Q.Energy segment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $75.7$78.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, an increase of $14.0$22.6 million, or 22.7%40.7% compared to 20212022 primarily due to the acquisitions of PLH and B Comm ($13.4 million).and increased costs to support our strong organic growth. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 5.9%6.2% compared to 6.8%7.1% for the corresponding period in 2021,2022, primarily due to increased revenue.

SG&A expenses were $190.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $18.0 million, or 10.4%, compared to 2021 primarily due to the acquisitions of PLH and B Comm ($13.6 million). SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 6.2% compared to 6.6% for the corresponding period in 2021, primarily due to increased revenue.

Transaction and related costs

Transaction and related costs were $12.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, consisting primarily of professional fees paid to advisors for the acquisition of PLH. Transaction and related costs were $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, consisting primarily of professional fees paid to advisors associated with the FIH integration.

Transaction and related costs were $18.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, consisting primarily of professional fees paid to advisors for the acquisitions of B Comm and PLH. Transaction and related costs were $14.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, consisting primarily of professional fees paid to advisors and expense associated with the purchase of Primoris common stock by certain employees of FIH at a 15% discount.

Gain on Sale and Leaseback Transaction

On June 22, 2022, we completed a sale and leaseback transaction of land and buildings located in Carson, California for an aggregate sales price, net of closing costs, of $49.9 million. Under the transaction, the land, buildings and improvements were sold and leased back for an initial term of three years. The property qualified for sale and leaseback treatment and is classified as an operating lease. Therefore, we recorded a gain on the transaction of $40.1 million. The gain is included in Gain on sale and leaseback transaction on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Interest expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, increased $8.4$15.6 million compared to the same period in 20212022 primarily due to higher average debt balances from the borrowings incurred related to the PLH acquisition, as well as a higher average interest rate.

Interest expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, increased $6.5rates, and a $0.5 million compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to higher average debt balances from the borrowings incurred related to the PLH acquisition as well as a higher average interest rate, partially offset by a favorable impact from the change in the fair value ofunrealized loss on our interest rate swap. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had a $5.6 million unrealized gain on the changeswaps in the fair value of our interest rate swap agreement,2023 compared to a $3.2$2.9 million unrealized gain in 2021.2022.

Provision for income taxes

We are subject to tax liabilities imposed by multiple jurisdictions. We determine our best estimate of the annual effective tax rate at each interim period using expected annual pre-tax earnings, statutory tax rates and available tax planning opportunities. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur, which can cause variability in the effective tax rate from quarter to quarter. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense.

The effective tax rate for the nine-monththree-month period ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, of 19.6%28.0% differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the impact of state income taxes netand nondeductible components of the effects of a release in valuation allowances during the second and third quarters.per diem expenses.

We recorded income tax expense for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, of $22.3$0.5 million compared to an income tax expensebenefit of $32.7$0.6 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. The $10.4$1.1 million decreaseincrease in income tax expense is primarily driven by the release of valuation allowances during the second and third quarters and a reduction$4.1 million increase in the effective tax rate from fully deductible per diems.

As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect our view of the future realization of all deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2021, we had not recognized the $9.8 million tax benefit of our 2018 U.S. capital losses, because we determined that it was more likely than not that the capital losses would expire before they were able to be used to offset future U.S. capital gains. Due to capital gains on the sale of California properties as of September 2022, we have released a portion of the valuation allowance and recognized a 5.5% decrease in our forecasted 2022 annual effective tax rate.pretax income.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $14.3 million, or 22.5%, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to the incremental impact of the PLH and B Comm acquisitions ($10.0 million combined). Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 12.7% during the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to 14.0% in the same period in 2021, primarily due to increased fuel and labor costs from the inflationary environment we are experiencing in 2022. A substantial majority of the work done in our Utilities segment is performed over longer term MSA contracts. These MSA contracts generally have escalation provisions that allow us to adjust billing rates annually, but typically the annual adjustment is subject to a cap and there can be an extended period of time between the impact of inflation on our costs and when billing rates are adjusted. Due to the inflationary environment we have experienced in 2022, our actual cost increases have exceeded the contractual caps, and therefore have negatively impacted gross margins. During the second and third quarter of 2022, we were able to renegotiate some of our major contracts to address the increased fuel and labor costs on future work and will continue to address this with our utility customers going forward.markets.

Geographic area financial information

The majority of our revenue is derived from customers in the United States with approximately 6.2%6.6% generated from sources outside of the United States during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, principally in Canada.

Backlog

For companies in the construction industry, backlog can be an indicator of future revenue streams. Different companies define and calculate backlog in different manners. We define backlog as a combination of: (1) anticipated revenue from the uncompleted portions of existing contracts where scope is adequately defined, and therefore we can reasonably estimate total contract value (“Fixed Backlog”), and (2) the estimated revenue on MSA work for the next four quarters (“MSA Backlog”). We do not include certain contracts in the calculation of backlog where scope, and therefore contract value, is not adequately defined.

The two components of backlog, Fixed Backlog and MSA Backlog, are detailed below.

We expect that during the next four quarters, we will recognize as revenue approximately 76%74% of the total backlog at September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, composed of backlog of approximately: 100% of the Utilities segment;segment and 60% of the Energy/Renewables segment; and 83% of the PipelineEnergy segment.

Backlog should not be considered a comprehensive indicator of future revenue, as a percentage of our revenue is derived from projects that are not part of a backlog calculation. The backlog estimates include amounts from estimated MSA contracts, but our customers are not contractually obligated to purchase an amount of services from us under the MSAs. Any of our contracts may be terminated by our customers on relatively short notice. In the event of a project cancellation, we may be reimbursed for certain costs, but typically we have no contractual right to the total revenue reflected in backlog. Projects may remain in backlog for extended periods of time as a result of customer delays, regulatory requirements or project specific issues. Future revenue from certain projects completed under time and material and cost reimbursable plus fee contracts may not be included in our estimated backlog amount.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity represents our ability to pay our liabilities when they become due, fund business operations, and meet our contractual obligations and execute our business plan. Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash balances at the beginning of each period and our cash flows from operating activities. If needed, we have availability under our lines of credit to augment liquidity needs, and we have a current shelf registration statement filed with the SEC that allows for the issuance of an indeterminate amount of debt and equity securities. Our short-term and long-term cash requirements consist primarily of working capital, investments to support revenue growth and maintain our equipment and facilities, general corporate needs, and to service our debt obligations.

On August 1, 2022, we entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) to increase the Term Loan by $439.5 million to an aggregate principal amount of $945.0 million (as amended, the “New Term Loan”). In addition to the New Term Loan, the Amended Credit Agreement also increased the existing $200.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, whereby the lenders agreed to make loans on a revolving basis from time to time and to issue letters of credit, up to $325.0 million. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, there was $150.0$100.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, commercial letters of credit outstanding were $48.4$47.3 million, and available borrowing capacity was $126.6$177.7 million. The proceeds from the New Term Loan and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility were used to finance the acquisition of PLH.

Table of Contents

In order to maintain sufficient liquidity, we evaluate our working capital requirements on a regular basis. We may elect to raise additional capital by issuing common stock, convertible notes, term debt or increasing our credit facilities as necessary to fund our operations or to fund the acquisition of new businesses.

Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $111.9$94.8 million at September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, compared to $200.5$248.7 million at December 31, 2021.2022. We anticipate that our cash and investments on hand, existing borrowing capacity under our credit facilities, access to and capacity under a shelf registration statement, and our future cash flows from operations will provide sufficient funds to enable us to meet our operating needs, our planned capital expenditures, and settle our commitments and contingencies for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.

The construction industry is capital intensive, and we expect to continue to make capital expenditures to meet anticipated needs for our services. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we spent approximately $75.7$13.8 million for capital expenditures, which included $39.1$4.4 million for construction equipment. Capital expenditures for the remaining threenine months of 2022, inclusive of the PLH acquisition,2023 are expected to total between $20.0$70 million and $30.0$90 million, which includes $15.0$40 million to $25.0$60 million for equipment.

Net cash used by operating activities for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 was $102.0$115.3 million compared to $15.6$6.6 million provided by operating activities for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. The change year-over-year was primarily due to the unfavorable impact from the changes in assets and liabilities and a decrease in the cash components of net income.liabilities.

The significant components of the $206.8$141.9 million change in assets and liabilities for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 are summarized as follows:

Contract assets increased by $82.8 million, primarily due to the timing of billing our customers;
Accounts receivable increased by $71.9 million, primarily due to the timing of collecting from our customers;
Accrued liabilities decreased by $30.6 million primarily due to payment of the Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax deferral; and
Other current assets decreased by $29.8 million primarily due to the receipt of an income tax refund.

The significant components of the $6.4 million change in assets and liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are summarized as follows:

Contract assets increased by $148.0$46.0 million, primarily due to significant revenue growth in 2022;the timing of billing our customers;

Accounts receivableOther current assets increased by $122.9$32.6 million primarily due to increased revenue;$35.1 million of prepaid material purchased related to our solar projects;

Contract liabilities increased by $52.0 million, primarily due to down payments or advance payments on projects in process; and

Table of Contents 

Other current assets increased by $98.5 million primarily due to a $82.1 million increase in prepaid material purchases related to our solar projects; and

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased $173.7 million primarily due to revenue growth and the timing of payments to our vendors.

The significant components of the $143.2 million change in assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are summarized as follows:

Accounts receivable increaseddecreased by $69.7$25.7 million, primarily due to the timing of collecting from our customers;customers.

Contract liabilities decreased by $67.8 million, primarily due to lower deferred revenue;

Contract assets increased by $54.3 million primarily due to the timing of billing our customers; and

Investing activities

For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we used $485.0$6.5 million in cash for investing activities compared to $665.6$32.9 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022.

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022, we used $478.4 million for acquisitions, compared to $607.0 million during the same period in the prior year.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we purchased property and equipment for $75.7$13.8 million compared to $102.1$33.2 million during the same period in the prior year. We believe the ownership or long-term leasing of equipment is generally preferable to renting equipment on a project-by-project basis, as this strategy helps to ensure the equipment is available for our projects when needed. In addition, this approach has historically resulted in lower overall equipment costs.

We periodically sell assets, typically to update our fleet. We received proceeds from the sale of assets of $19.2$7.4 million during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, compared to $43.5$4.4 million during the same period in the prior year. Additionally, we received net proceeds of $49.9 million from a sale and leaseback transaction of land and buildings during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Financing activities

Financing activities providedused cash of $515.4$36.6 million for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023, which was primarily due to the following:

Payment of long-term debt of $31.5 million; and
Dividend payments to our stockholders of $3.2 million.

Financing activities used cash of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which was primarily due to the following:

Proceeds from the entry into an amended and upsized term loan of $462.9 million, netissuance of debt issuance costs paid;
Net borrowings on our credit facilities of $150.1$30.0 million;
Payment of long-term debt of $77.8$26.5 million; and
Dividend payments to our stockholders of $9.6 million.

Financing activities provided cash of $522.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was primarily due to the following:

Proceeds from the entry into an amended and upsized term loan of $395.1 million, net of debt issuance costs paid;
Proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $178.7 million;
Proceeds from the issuance of debt secured by our equipment of $61.7 million;
Payment of long-term debt of $96.5 million; and

Common stock

Off-balance sheet transactions

We enter into certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business that result in risks not directly reflected on our balance sheet. We have no off-balance sheet financing arrangement with VIEs. The following represents transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered material off-balance sheet arrangements.

At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had letters of credit outstanding of $48.9$47.8 million under the terms of our credit agreements. These letters of credit are used by our insurance carriers to ensure reimbursement for amounts that they are disbursing on our behalf, such as beneficiaries under our self-funded insurance program. In addition, from time to time, certain customers require us to post a letter of credit to ensure payments to our subcontractors or guarantee performance under our contracts. Letters of credit reduce our borrowing availability under our Amended Credit Agreement and our Canadian Credit Facility.credit facilities. If these letters of credit were drawn on by the beneficiary, we would be required to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit, and we may be required to record a charge to earnings for the reimbursement. As of the date of this ThirdFirst Quarter 20222023 Report, we do not believe that it is likely that any material claims will be made under a letter of credit;

Table of Contents

In the ordinary course of our business, we may be required by our customers to post surety bid or completion bonds in connection with services that we provide. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had bid and completion bonds issued and outstanding totaling approximately $4.2$4.8 billion. The remaining performance obligation on those bonded projects totaled approximately $1.7$1.8 billion at September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. As of the date of this ThirdFirst Quarter 20222023 Report, we do not anticipate that we would have to fund material claims under our surety arrangements;

Certain of our subsidiaries are parties to collective bargaining agreements with unions. In most instances, these agreements require that we contribute to multi-employer pension and health and welfare plans. For many plans, the contributions are determined annually and required future contributions cannot be determined since contribution rates depend on the total number of union employees and actuarial calculations based on the demographics of all participants. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended by the Multi-Employer Pension Amendments Act of 1980, subjects employers to potential liabilities in the event of an employer’s complete or partial withdrawal of an underfunded multi-employer pension plan. The Pension Protection Act of 2006 added new funding rules for multi-employer plans that are classified as “endangered”, “seriously endangered”, or “critical”. We do not currently anticipate withdrawal from any multi-employer pension plans. Withdrawal liabilities or requirements for increased future contributions could negatively impact our results of operations and liquidity;

We enter into employment agreements with certain employees which provide for compensation and benefits under certain circumstances and which may contain a change of control clause. We may be obligated to make payments under the terms of these agreements; and

From time to time, we make other guarantees, such as guaranteeing the obligations of our subsidiaries.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

Our operations are affected by increases in prices, whether caused by inflation or other economic factors. We attempt to recover anticipated increases in the cost of labor, equipment, fuel and materials through price escalation provisions that allow us to adjust billing rates for certain major contracts annually; by considering the estimated effect of such increases when bidding or pricing new work; or by entering into back-to-back contracts with suppliers and subcontractors. However, the annual adjustment provided by certain contracts is typically subject to a cap and there can be an extended period of time between the impact of inflation on our costs and when billing rates are adjusted. In some cases, our actual cost increases have exceeded the contractual caps, and therefore negatively impacted our operations. We have been able to renegotiate some of our major contracts to address the increased costs on future work and will continue to address this with our customers going forward.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In the ordinary course of business, we are exposed to risks related to market conditions. These risks primarily include fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. We may seek to manage these risks through the use of financial derivative instruments. These instruments may include foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swaps.

Interest rate risk. Our Revolving Credit Facility and New Term Loan bear interest at a variable rate which exposes us to interest rate risk. From time to time, we may use certain derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to variable interest rates. As of September 30, 2022, $124.8March 31, 2023, $418.6 million of our variable rate debt outstanding was economically hedged. Based on our variable rate debt outstanding as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, a 1.0% increase or decrease in interest rates would change annual interest expense by approximately $9.6$5.9 million.

We do not execute transactions or use financial derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We generally enter into transactions with counterparties that are financial institutions as a means to limit significant exposure with any one party.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e).

Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, at September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their stated objectives.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting practices or processes that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(1)In November 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a $25.0 million share purchase program. Under the share purchase program, we can, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors, acquire shares of our common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In February 2022, our Board of Directors replenished the limit to $25.0 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we purchased and cancelled 129,200 shares of common stock, which in the aggregate equaled $2.6 million at an average share price of $20.28. As of September 30, 2022, we had $19.0 million remaining for purchase under the share purchase program. The share purchase plan expires on December 31, 2022.
